Task1: calculate the annual se ling price of cost unit for each year
Task 2: calculate the annual se ling price of competitive price for each year
Task 3: what is the sales plan for both cost unit and competitive price for
the years 2013 up to 2015?
Task 4: calculate the annual profit or loss for both cost unit and competitive
price for the years 2013 up to 2015
Task 5: what is the annual sales plan for the years 2016 and 2017 for both
cost unit and competitive
Task 1: Calculate the Annual Selling Price of Cost Unit for Each Year
Selling price = cost price (1 + profit margin)
Year 2013:
Cost Price = 40 birr
Profit Margin = 10% = 0.10
Se ling Price = 40 (1 + 0.10) = 40(1.10) = birr
44 Year 2014:
Cost Price = 45 birr
Profit Margin = 15% = 0.15
Se ling Price = 45(1 + 0.15) = 45(1.15) = birr 51.75
Year 2015:
Cost Price = 48 birr
Profit Margin = 12.5% = 0.125
Se ling Price = 48 (1 + 0.125) = 48 (1.125) = birr 54
Year 2016:
Cost Price = 50 birr
Profit Margin = 20% = 0.20
Se ling Price = 50 (1 + 0.20) = 50 (1.20) = birr
60 Year 2017:
Cost Price = 50 birr
Profit Margin = 15% = 0.15
Se ling Price = 50 (1 + 0.15) = 50 (1.15) = birr 57.50
Task 2: Calculate the Annual Selling Price of Competitive Price for Each Year
2013: 42 birr 2016: 60 birr
2014: 46 birr 2017: 60 birr
2015: 50 birr
Task 3: Sales Plan for Both Cost Unit and Competitive Price for 2013 to 2015
Total sales = Production unit * Selling Price
Year 2013:
Cost Unit:
Production unit = 6,000 units
Se ling Price = birr 44
Total Sales = 6,000*44 = birr
264,000 Competitive Price:
Production unit = 6,000 units
Se ling Price = birr 42
Total Sales = 6,000*42 = birr 252,000
Year 2014:
Cost Unit:
Production unit = 10,000 units
Se ling Price = birr 51.75
Total Sales = 10,000*51.75 = birr 517,500
Competitive Price:
Production unit = 10,000 units
Se ling Price = birr 46
Total Sales = 10,000*46 = birr 460,000
Year 2015:
Cost Unit:
Production unit = 15,000 units
Se ling Price = birr 54
Total Sales = 15,000 *54 = birr 810,000
Competitive Price:
Production unit = 15,000 units
Se ling Price = birr 50
Total Sales = 15,000*50 = birr 750,000
Task 4: Calculate the Annual Profit or Loss for Both Cost Unit and Competitive Price for
2013 to 2015
Year 2013:
Cost Unit:
Total Sales = birr 264,000
Cost = 6,000*40 = birr 240,000
Profit = 264,000 - 240,000 = 24,000 birr
Competitive Price:
Total Sales = birr 252,000
Cost = 6000 *40 = birr 240,000
Profit = 252,000 - 240,000 = birr 12,000
Year 2014:
Cost Unit:
Total Sales = birr 517,500
Cost = 10,000*45 = birr 450,000
Profit = 517,500 - 450,000 = birr 67,500
Competitive Price:
Total Sales = birr 460,000
Cost = 10,000 * 45 = birr 450,000
Profit = 460,000 - 450,000 = birr 10,000
Year 2015:
Cost Unit:
Total Sales = birr 810,000
Cost = 15,000 *48 = birr 720,000
Profit = 810,000 - 720,000 = birr 90,000
Competitive Price:
Total Sales = birr 750,000
Cost = 15,000 *48 = birr 720,000
Profit = 750,000 - 720,000 = birr 30,000
Task 5: Sales Plan for the Years 2016 and 2017 for Both Costs Unit and Competitive Price
We use the production unit data for 2016 and 2017. The production units for these years are
increased by 35% of the previous year.
2016 Production Units: Production Units of 2015 + Production Units of 2015 * 35%
2016 Production Units = 15,000 units + (15,000*0.35)
2016 Production Units = 15,000 units + 5,250 units
2016 Production Units = 20,250 units
2017 Production Units: Production Units of 2016 + Production Units of 2016 * 35%
2017 Production Units = 20,250 units + (20,250×0.35)
2017 Production Units = 20,250 units + 7,087.5
2017 Production Units = 27,337.5 units
Year 2016
Cost Unit:
Se ling Price = 60 birr
Production unit = 20,250 units
Total Sales = 20250 *60 = birr 1,215,000
Competitive Price:
Se ling Price = 60 birr
Production unit = 20,250 units
Total Sales = 20250 *60 = birr 1,215,000
Year 2017:
Cost Unit:
Se ling Price = 57.50 birr
Production unit = 27,337.5
units
Total Sales = 27,337.5 *57.50 = birr 1,571,906.25
Competitive Price:
Se ling Price = 60 birr
Production unit = 27,337.5
units
Total Sales = 27,337.5 * 60 = birr 1,640,250
